After doing research here on PS and talking with a friend of mine that knows a lot more than me about diamonds I finally found me a diamond that looks great to me. The people over at WhiteFlash have been amazing with their service. I won't be able to get the ring until next week, but from the pictures they've sent me i love it.

here's the diamond:

Not as big as a lot of the diamonds here on PS, but I can't wait to get it.

Welcome Terik,

You did great, that is a gorgeous diamond - congrats!









Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be...

You did really well, that's a beautiful diamond! What setting did you put it in, if you don't mind my asking?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds."

-Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State



John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880

"There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things....

The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

Perfect. That's going to make one beautiful, classic ring.

Wednesday really can not come soon enough for me. Although I'm very nervous about it, because the same day I get the ring I'm going to ask her parents for their blessing.

On the 3rd picture you can see 2 flaws but I'm not too concerned about them since i never would have seen them if it wasnt for the size of the picture and level of zoom.
